Lucky Charm Rice Krispie Treats are like a Rice Krispie treat but made with Lucky Charms. These magically delicious marshmallow treats are a huge hit. Simple ingredients for a chewy and flavorful easy dessert.
Slice butter into slices and place in a microwave safe bowl with the 8 cups of the mini marshmallows.
Microwave for 2 minutes, and then remove and stir. If the marshmallows are not fully melted, heat for another 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until the marshmallows are completely melted and creamy.
Stir in 5 cups of cereal and the remaining marshmallows. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish and press the bars into the pan. I find that adding a little cooking spray to my hand works great at pressing the bars down without it sticking to my hands.
Add a few more pieces of cereal on top of the bars and press them down to ensure the cereal sticks.
Let the Lucky Charm Rice Krispie treats cool in the container for 1 hour, before you go to slice into squares.
Notes
Thicker Bars - You can use an 8x8 or 9x9 pan to make a thicker bar if you want. Cereal - I used Lucky Charms but you can use any type of cereal you want to make cereal bars. Press Lightly in Pan - If you press the bars too hard it will make them harder and more dense. Lightly press the bars in the pan to ensure they stick together.
